Vaccine Injury

Have you or a loved one suffered unexpected side effects from a vaccine? Government statistics report that About 30,000 adverse events believed to related to unexpected side effects from a vaccine are reported to the government each year. Countless others may never realize that a sudden change in health was due a side effect from a vaccine.

In fact, each year, American babies (1 year old and younger) receive more than 10 million vaccinations. During the first year of life, a significant number of babies suffer serious, life-threatening illnesses and medical events, such as Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS). Additionally, it is during the first year that congenital conditions may become evident. Therefore, due to chance alone, many babies will experience a medical event in close proximity to a vaccination. This does not mean, though, that the event is in fact related to the immunization. The challenge is to determine when a medical event is directly related to a vaccination.

So if you or a loved one have suffered unexpected side effects from a vaccine, contact our law firm for an evaluation of your claim and to find out more about the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP).

In the United States vaccine claims are not actually lawsuits but instead are pursued through the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP). Founded in 1988, this program established a compensation program whereby the program you may receive compensation if you injury was caused by the vaccine. The VICP covers all vaccines listed on the Vaccine Injury Table maintained by the Secretary of Health and Human Services.
